“…In addition, the many straightforward ways to measure moving electrons and the inherently quantitative nature of electrochemical measurements support the great potential for electrochemical sensors. A wide range of electrochemical sensors has been developed specifically for the detection of food contaminants, including impedimetric aptasensors, − square-wave voltammetric electrodes, , and amperometric electrodes. , In this review, we focus on field-effect transistor (FET) sensors based on their ability to reach very low limits of detection and their high potential for on-site use as compared to other electrochemical sensors . This technology has been employed to detect five of the six classifications of food contaminants, missing only parasites, which tend to be too large compared to the surface of the FET for the method to be effective. − FET sensors detect changes in potential or current across a conductive channel between an oxide insulator and a semiconductor.…”
